Yes after about 45 min or so of riden i would get pretty good back pain in between the shoulder blades... Thing about bars.. everybody is different in their comfort and beachbars were not for me. They look sick though!...lol

And also when making sharp turns i needed to kick out my legs so the bars wouldn't hit them.

I forgot the most important reason for my handlebar's swap, I have a bad L-3 and being tall does not play nice with beachbars.
